Create a Windows 7 bootable USB in under 9 Minutes

Hello Folks, It’s a great Sunday morning (at the time of writing) and I’m in a really good mood. I am very excited to present you an exciting article with a happy smile. 🙂 Today I’ll tell you how to create a Windows 7 bootable USB very quickly. Before that here’s a story

Last evening for me was a horror; I had brought a client’s hard disk to format Windows 7; had a Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64-bit edition DVD in my CD rack. Well just like any normal computer technician I connected the hard disk to my PC to format Windows; everything went well until I was stuck onto this ‘Setup is starting’ screen for probably 20 minutes or so (It takes almost 30 seconds and spending 20 minutes here really pissed me off).

I then borough-ed another DVD from a friend of mine but still I was stuck onto the same ‘Setup is Starting’ screen; even my friend’s DVD too was scratched more than mine. (all this time I was cursing my luck)

I then realized I need to create a Windows 7 bootable USB. I knew how to create one but searched for the tool I needed. As I had forgotten name of that particular software to create a Windows 7 bootable USB.

But the website I encountered, didn’t had this article covered in details. Any newbie wouldn’t understand it quicker. So I thought I should come up with an easy and simple article to create Windows 7 bootable USB in just under 9 minutes or so.

I’ve made this article so simple that it would be walk in the park even for a newbie. So sit straight, eyes on the screen and here we start.

Step I – Download Windows 7 SP1 ISO pack

The first step is very simple.

You need to download Windows 7 Operating System ISO pack. The below link contains Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate.

Refer the image below and tick UDF (circled in image) which makes it a valid ISO file.

Click OK and then again try to add this file to Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Now follow all the steps shown above and I know you’d be done with this FINALLY!.

I hope you all liked the tutorial. I’ve tried to make it as simple as possible. I’ve used images, video so that even a newbie could understand it. Therefore don’t forget to show me some love. Share this article on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter and help your friends too.

If you have any queries or didn’t understand any step. Feel to free to comment below. I’ll answer you as early as possible.

Hi Abhishek,
This type of tutorial could come handy when the Windows user encounter the type of problem similar to your story. Creating the bootable USB seems like a buffer for most computer nerds. However, I learned one or two things from this post.

In kingged.com,where this post was bookmarked and syndicated, I have left that above comment.

I appreciate your thoughts on this article. Yeah! many computer technician and people still use DVDs to format their PC. Even Microsoft supplies DVDs. I think its high time we all should move to flash storage instead of using age old DVDs.
